Guide to using Broad genome assemblies in your research

The ALLPATHS-LG genome assemblies produced here at the Broad Institute are available for download via the Broad FTP site and NCBI. However, some restrictions on their use may apply, and it is therefore important that you follow the guidelines given below.

All of our assemblies are released under the terms of the Fort Lauderdale Agreement, details of which can be found in the Fort Lauderdale Meeting Report and the associated NHGRI Statement. For some background information and a brief discussion on this agreement, please also read the Nature Editorial on the agreement.
